How to Make Zucchini Terrine

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Sauté 2 cups of chopped zucchini and 1 cup of grated carrot in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 15 minutes, or until softened. Add 1 cup of chopped cooked chicken during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup evaporated milk.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Add the cooked vegetables to the egg mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (or two smaller pans).
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan(s), leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  8. Bake the larger loaf for 55 minutes, and the smaller loaf for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the terrine cool slightly before unmolding.
  10. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. A light tomato sauce makes a delicious accompaniment.
